Lawmakers warn of ‘all-out war’ as US-Iran tensions soar

January 7, 2020

Oregon and Washington lawmakers are calling for a de-escalation of tensions between the U.S. and Iran following two Iranian missile strikes on bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq.

Congresswoman Bonamici:
"I am closely monitoring the reports of attacks by Iran targeting our soldiers in Iraq. My thoughts are with those in the area and their families. For the safety of our troops and the security of our country, I strongly support efforts to deescalate this situation before it spirals further out of control. Tomorrow I will attend a classified briefing about the situation, where I hope to get answers to the many valid questions and concerns about the President's increasingly confrontational approach with Iran."
